Fery’s two-hour victory over Coboli secures Wimbledon semi-final spot

In a sun‑baked afternoon at the All England Club, Arthur Fery delivered a masterclass that propelled him into the Wimbledon 2026 men’s semi‑finals. The British wild‑card dispatched Fabio Coboli, the 2026 French Open runner‑up, with a scoreline of 6‑4, 7‑6(4), 6‑0 in a contest lasting two hours and fourteen minutes.

Fery’s performance combined a high first‑serve percentage, tactical variety and clutch play in the tiebreak, leaving Coboli unable to mount a comeback. The win not only makes Fery the second wild‑card in tournament history to reach the semi‑finals, it also places him among the lowest‑ranked players to achieve that feat at SW19.

The Brit now prepares for a Friday showdown against second‑seed Alexander Zverev, who earned his semi‑final berth by overcoming seventh‑seed Taylor Fritz 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑2. Zverev, fresh from a Roland Garros triumph, will bring his aggressive baseline game against the under‑dog British hopeful.
